1. Can it be countered? Besides just playing the Song of Storms to counter it; are there ways to nullify the effects without that?
2. What is the area of effect?
3. How fast does it kill?
4. Does it effect every single type of troop?
5. How long does it last?
6. Does it effect your troops as well?

Once all those things are considered it will be allowed/disallowed. Smaller numbers would likely be better if it's something like, an instakill; however, if you end up make it not a kill whatsoever and just provide a debuff on enemy soldiers, we'd be more relaxed with the details I just mentioned.

So it's not really a question of "is this allowed/disallowed" in the majority of instances. A nuclear bomb will be disallowed in every single instance. But things like you just mentioned are flexible; we can tweak it until it is something that is more reasonable in the context of the game. Most projects end up like that, very few end up on the "absolutely not, never" spectrum.

No really though this sounds super fun. I used to play a similar game on whiteboards back when I was a kid, only without the 3 month commitment (which I'm totally fine with, incentive to check the forums daily). Really looking forward to the 8th, I'll be checking for that thread at least hourly.

Sweet, that's 5 guaranteed players -- six when Cajbaj gets back to us.

Would just like to note that you guys don't have to treat this as STRICTLY a business thread. Light chatter is absolutely fine and encouraged. Think of Land Wars as your own special clan/community, and this thread is it's General Chat Thread. As long as you aren't breaking the forum rules/absolutely wrecking the place with spam, I'm fine with you guys talking about whatever. Though most of our topics will come from the game itself, I think. =)
